The movement of a human being in the medical exoskeleton – the anthropomotoric aspects
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 57
Abstract
Exoskeletons are mechanical constructions attached to particular parts of a human body, supporting its movement with the in-built effectors. Exoskeletons are promising solutions as rehabilitation devices and as tools, supporting patients, medical personnel, families and caregivers in everyday life activities. They may be particularly helpful for the people with deficiencies and those who suffer from pathology of the central nervous system (CNS) in result of, for instance, a stroke. The aim is to improve the quality of life of such people by supporting and expanding their motoricity. As for today, the knowledge and understanding in the area of adaptation of a human being to walking and performing everyday life activities in combination with such robots as exoskeletons are limited. This article is aimed at estimating to what extent the possibilities in this field are being exploited.
